The seige!

Though I am writing this many days after what happened...I really don't think I need to explicitely mention the attacks..the place..the time..anything...it is so fresh in the mind of not just every Indian..but the whole world...

I don't understand what is it...what is that 'motiation' so to say..that can actually make a person kill 100s and 1000s....How can they....What has happened to us...to the youngsters..to the future....WHY...

But keeping the 'humanitarian' me out of here...I really  think the Indian in me is all up in arms at the moment...We need to do something substantial...We just cant take  this lying down....We cant! Just cant!!

Jaago India Jaaago....

A call to every Indian....our alarm clock has rung....it has been ringing for quite some time now! Wake up!

Oye Lucky....Lucky Oye.....

It was probably a 3 star movie...though I doubt my 'company' for the movie agrees with me ;)

It definitely does not match the standards of 'Khosla ka ghosla' but it was not all that bad! khosla ka ghosla definitely was a class apart...but this flick was also ok kinds....Even though I again re-iterate that my company absolutely disliked the movie..but i really need to know why! Will take that up offline ;)

My favorite lyrics from the movie-

A B C D Chaida Mainu, Vadi Biddi Chaida Mainu Ctvv Chaida Mainu, Lcd Bhi Chaida Mainu Laal Murseri Chaidi Mainu, Laal Kila Bhi Chaida Mainu Haa Haa Chaida Ho Ho Chaida

:)

As a matter of fact..

I really have been wondering lately what on earth makes people talk the talk??? How can anyone just keep talking just for the heck of it!?? Actually not for the heck of it per say...the talks always are motive driven if nothing else...varied motives people have..some talk 'crap' just to buy time, to sort out some more crap in their head to speak...some to save themselves from the 'self-proclaimed' embarrassment of not knowing something (I really wonder rather than accepting that they don't know something and try and learn it, whats the big 'embarrassment fuss!!)...some trying to cover up something...but most doing it to please those who matter!!

I think I have covered all the categories, I suppose..you can add on a few more..let the experience speak!

But seriously...I think I have realised how I dislike such people and unfortunately I am surrounded by most of them! (No attempts at being politically correct here-for a change!)

I don't get it..why can't we just be normal..why do people have to be so shallow..I mean why can't people talk when they are talked to, required or genuinely know what they are talking about! How can people keep blabbering endlessly without a reason?? 

I believed..and still do when it comes to me...that this kinda behaviour does not take you far..but I guess there are enough reasons around me to prove me otherwise! 

I just hope that I don't falter and lose track!

Mastam Mastam

deven yuuvraj....a good lookin dude..with a good looking female....and a funny 'Father in law'....2 brothers....Gyanesh (Under used in the movie) and Danny (funny choice of name..but...OVER Used)....songs put in here and there...with no logical reasoning.....

Its difficult to actually understand what was the movie made for??What was the reason??

In such grave time...economically speaking....not making this kind of flick could have save a lot of money!!!

Do not watch it!

Everythin bout the movie was weird..xcept for the company :)

A long time ago....

A long time ago there lived this girl...who dreamt of nymphs and elves....of fairies and the magic wands....

A long time 'after'....she still lives there...hoping for the magic wand to spin its magic...and get back the things which seem to be losing track!

A Quick Birthday Note..

It was good....nice.....great...fantastic..............I loved it........m still loving it....... :):):):)
It truely was a 'Happy Birthday to me' kinda feeling......and the feeling's just growing!! :)

Phir Dekhiye...

There always are those few songs..which touch that 1 special cord....well in my case...there always are many ;-)..But these days..out of the so many songs that are playing on my mind right now...I think it is 'Phir Dekhiye' from Rock On....It is..I don't might not be for many, but for me an inspirational number! Excellent lyrics....
"Annkhon mein jiske, koi to khwaab hai
khush hai wahi jo, thoda betaab hai...
Zindagi mein koi, aarzu kijiye..
Phir dekhiye"
I think the lyrics are 1 of the best ever for Javed Akhtar....Really cool! That Gulzar 'dust' does wipe off a bit..here n there... :)

Friday!

It is just a regular Friday that we all tend to have...a regular 'don't feel like working' feeling settled in...right from the day start.....everything is just soo soo Frida'ish'...but it still is different!!! And I am loving the difference!! :)

Songs...1990s

Just listening to radio gold..or whatever they call it, in the frequency terms- 106....there's this show running right now...which plays some really 'hip & happening' songs...'Aapki Farmaish' kinds...and its really funny the kind of songs people want to listen to, in this day and age..

Its not that I have not been a part of that brigade, which really 'loved' these songs in times they were released...though I don't really remember it too well how I reacted when they were 1st aired...but am sure I must've enjoyed listening to them...cause I know I surely did..after all we were not always in 2000s...

Actually come to think of it..there are not many songs..rather the kind of music that you listen to...that clings on to you...its very rare that a song that you really like today..might be topping your charts, probably 20years down the line as well....it is all so time bound! Everythin is actually so time bound, this is the reality!

Though there are so many songs..say from the 60s, 70s or even the 50s genre which I absolutely love...something happened in the 90s I guess..esp. the early 90s..to the quality of music..for sure....the songs that were made then...who listens to them now???? I mean really who does..except for a few stray songs here and there,....they all were so..cheesy!

I wonder how many really agree with me here...but I think..I really think..that was the worst phase of our music and 'fashion' industry....we talk bout the fashion industry later though ;)

Tick Tock Tick Tock....

It has been the longest day of my life...or so it feels......its like...how easily you let something just add on to your life and then when you..somehow..due to some reasons...not get it..for sonetime...the hands of that wall clock seem to be dragging on...terribly slow they are...

It has been such a long day......and even now the day does not seem to end...its just dragging on...I really cant wait any longer..it seems...I should'nt be so impatient, I know...but....somethings you just can't help.......

The Saturday 'day' fever!

Weekends have never  been too exciting..we can negate the 'too' as well...weekends have  never been exciting, though had a fantastic weekend last time...but still...whatever be the case...its been an absolutely boring saturaday so far...

No fun no excitement..nothing to do....dont even feel like 'acting lazy'..though those who know me would definitely know I am 'lazy' from the word go..and somehow i've just managed to rhyme....even though I thought doing so takes time...and I think this blog needs to end right here..or else...well....it already is a disaster..don't know what will happen if I continue..

The bottom line is..I am bored..I am bugged...

Traveller...

I think I have just realised that one of my favourite 'stress buster' activity of sorts, the other being shopping ;-), is travelling!!

I think I love travelling..though there are loads of places that I HAVE to visit...but still it all started well...probably cause of a lot of 'independece' of sorts that you get once you plunge into the 'earning' world, but that's how it is! Come to think of it, last 1 year or so has been filled with quite a few 'weekend getaways' of sorts..and thinking about them really pleases me a lot.... :)

So lets see....Jaipur...Mussoorie....Leh...Amritsar...Hyderabad...Vaishno Devi (Jammu)...I don't think i've missed out on any place here...so its like...12 months 6 places...that aint too bad, right?? But there still are soooo many places to see....and at present my wishlist has Khajuraho, Dharamshala, Dalhousie, Vaishno Devi (Again), B'lore, Pune, Kerela (The last three definitely not in the weekend category)...topping the charts!

Hopefully this year (Sept 2008-Sept 2009), would have them added on to my 'places visited' list along with a few more here and there!!

Bonjour! :-p

Kite Runner...

A fantastically written book this is.....Surely the 1st thought that comes to my mind! Even though took me ages to 'finally' read the book....but the time spent was all worth it!

It is ironical how, the writers, somehow just can manage to put in words the right thoughts at the right time in the 'rightest' manner (Not a dictionary reference here!). But this is the truth!

Reading Amir's account of his 'old' and 'new' days...his account of the web of relationships that he had spun around himself..his 'relationship with the relationships'...everything...comes across as so very normal and so very 'you'!

I guess we all, at one point or the other, end up feeling all dazed. We all have our secrets...we all have a way of dealing with them..we all have our share of 'back-stabbings', whichever side of the 'back' we might be on....we all, at one point or the other, have made decisions...decisions to move on.....

A beautiful book....so simple yet so moving!! Surely a Must Read!

The indecisive me!

I used to think I am a Libran to the core...Even though I do feel the same, still, but somehow the belief seems to have been challenged...A libran to the core would mean living upto the 'balance' symbol in the least. But that somehow does not always happen..Believe me its tough, to strike that balance, am not even competing for the 'perfect balance' here!

But yes 1 thing that does make me a perfect Libran- my indecisive nature! And no one can beat me at that! I think this is one, probably the only one these days, that I carry with myself, in the most perfect manner as can be!

To be or not to be.....just added it in the end, to add that 'just like this' feel!!

Time!

Always too late......

Ik Nazm..

yeh raah bahut aasan nahi...
jis raah par haath chuda kar tum...
yun tan0tanha chal nikali ho...
is khauf se shayad raah bhatak jao na kahin...
har maud par maine nazm khadi kar rakhi hai....

thak jao agar---
aur tumko zaroorat pad jae...
ik nazm ki ungali thaam kar wapis aajaana...


-Gulzar

Of cinderellas and belles......

I hope i live this dream...till I have the fairy tale ending........

--Blank--

Have you ever felt like holding on to something for a little longer..a lifetime probably?? Ever felt like undoing and then redoing certain things so that it would all be 'fairy tale' kinds?? Ever felt that you need a complete revamp of sorts?? Ever felt that things need a change, but most importantly, its you who needs a complete change?? Ever felt how absolutely incapable you are, of handling situations, handling people?? Ever felt how absolutely incapable you are of handling happiness, leave alone passing it on to others?? Ever felt miserably distant from something you were at a distance 'huggingly' close?? Ever felt that anything and everything that matters is nowhere in sight?? Ever felt absolutely impossible to be the way you want to be?? Ever felt blank and bursting with thoughts, feelings and emotions at the same time?? Ever felt like just running away..forever and ever and ever??? Ever felt like talking but with no words?? Ever felt like nothing??

Mora Saiyan mose bole na - Fuzon

Saawan Beeto Jaye Pe Harwa
Mann Mera Ghabraye
Aeso Gaye Pardes Piya Tum
Cheyn Humain nahin Aye

Mora Saiyaan moh sey bolay Na
Laakh Jatan Kar Haar Rahi
Mora Saiyyan Moh Say Bolay Na

Tu Jo Nahin to Aisay Piya hum
Jaisay Soona Aanganaa
Nain Tehaari Rah Neeharey
Nainnan Ko Tarsaona

Pyar Tumhain Kitna Kartay Hain
Tum Yeh Samajh Nahin Pao gay
Jab Hum Na Hongay to Peharwa
Bolo Kya Tab Aao gay

Mora Saiyaan moh Sey Bolay Na
Laakh Jatan Kar Haar Rahi
